Provide a function GetPanelDisplayScreenshot

Status:

Hello,

I would consider it quite convenient having a simple CVI function, similar to GetPanelDisplayBitmap, providing a true screenshot image of a CVI panel.

As discussed here, the CVI function GetPanelDisplayBitmap does not provide a screenshot image of the panel, i.e. the bitmap lacks all OS-specific features (color theme etc.).

For backward compatibility reasons, NI should provide a new function, returning a bitmap that looks the same as if I would have pressed Alt+Prt Sc

Thanks!

I would like to second this request for another reason, which seems similar. If I plot an image in a window using the Imaq function imgPlot(..) if I do a GetPanelDisplayBitmap(...) the image does not show up in the captured bitmap (though it does show up in the window and ALT+Prt Sc captures it). Thanks.
